Rattle and Snap is a Greek Revival mansion near Columbia, Tennessee.
It was built in 1845 by George W. Polk, a relative of president James K. Polk and the son of William Polk. William was a North Carolina native who was appointed surveyor-general of the Middle District of Tennessee in 1784. The plantation originally stood on 5,648 acres.[3]
It is said to have been given its name from the fact that the land on which it was built was won from the Governor of North Carolina in a game of chance called 'Rattle and Snap'.[4]
It was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1971.[2][5]
It is located on Andrew Jackson Highway, Tennessee State Route 243, near Columbia.[4]
